Race covers physical attributes of individuals and classifies them into one or more groups. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. It is identified by a number. the higher the number the greater the intelligence. Knowing the race of an individual does not provide a way to identify their intelligence but intelligence by race is a known attribute. The problem is there’s no way to identify the IQ of an individual if the only information is their race. The problem of race is along the edges. If all of the white people were put in order by their intelligence and all of the other people were put in order by their race and their intelligence there would be a great overlap in the races. The average for each race is only useful for things that require knowledge of IQ by race. It is however useless to use race to identify IQ and Mutatis Mutandi to use IQ to identify race. IQ is a somewhat illusory attrubute so extreme care is needed to consider it. In most cases it’s best left alone. While it can be used to consider the behavior of large groups by race there is no reliable data to identify the size of the group.
